Dye reveals hidden oxygen trouble in aortic aneurysms
NCT ID NCT03410420
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a dye called pimonidazole to see if it can safely detect low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in the aorta of people having surgery for an ascending aortic aneurysm. Nine adults received the dye before surgery, and researchers measured how much of it was in the removed aortic tissue. The goal was to learn more about the disease, not to treat it.
